Reports that Sushant Singh Rajput is set to lock lips with Anushka Sharma is making news. CS take a look at actors who hit headlines with their on-screen smooching and the kind of impact it had on their careers

Randeep Hooda

Films: Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster, Jism 2, Murder 3, Bombay Talkies, John Day

Actor's take: `I find it tougher to do emotional scenes than intimate ones. They are comparatively easier.`

Impact: It was Randeep's sizzling chemistry with Mahie Gill in Saheb Biwi Aur Gangster that got him a distinct image. The actor went on to bag films like Jism 2 and Murder 3 that had the element of erotica. In between, the actor has also done films like Jannat 2 and Cocktail, which did not have much scope for romance. The actor's no-holds barred attitude seems to be working for him.

Ayushmann Khurrana

Films: Vicky Donor and Nautanki Saala

Actor's take: `I think it's okay to do kissing scenes as long as your partner is okay with it. It's just acting, after all.`

Impact: Ayushmann's kissing scene in Vicky Donor did not hit headlines but his passionate smooch with Pooja Salvi in Nautanki Saala was talked about. Since then, the actor's career has been moving at a steady pace.

Arunoday Singh

Films: Yeh Saali Zindagi, Mirch and Jism 2

Actor's take: `My parents get amused when they read about my shenanigans,` says the actor who comes from a politicalfamily.

Impact: It was his 22 kisses in Sudhir Mishra's Yeh Saali Zindagi that got Arunoday into the limelight. He followed it up with intimate scenes with Sunny Leone in Jism 2. However, the kisses didn't help as critics panned him.

Emraan Hashmi

Films: Murder, Aashiq Banaya Apne, Murder, Zeher, Aksar to name a few

Actor's take: `A perfect kiss is the one that's truly felt. The timing is also very important,` the actor had said.

Impact: Many consider the actor as Bollywood's original kissing star. Taking into account, the success of his films with the masses, Emraan's efforts didn't go in vain. Since last two years, he has leveraged his mass appeal to get varied roles in some critically acclaimed films like The Dirty Picture and Shanghai.

Neil Nitin Mukesh

Films: Lafangey Parindey, David, Shortcut Romeo, 3G

Actor's take: `I believe that kissing scenes should be shot well. Moreover, there's a lot of hype around such scenes, which is unnecessary. They have been happening in our films since quite some time.`

Impact: Neil's kissing scenes with Monica Dogra in David and Sonal Chauhan in 3G made some news. However, they did nothing to boost his career commercially. With the actor's last three films tanking at the box office, Neil seems to need a new mantra to attract film buffs.
